Singles Saturday

I am going to try to make Singles Saturday a weekly thing. This week we aren't doing several songs, just one.
In 2012 , JoJo released AGape`. An amazing mixtape that I just love. Andre happened to be one of my favorite songs from that project.

Check it out!

Craft time + garden flag

Yall need to check out my Pinterest. I think I have some pretty good crafts and def an amazing closet.  Amy, Cathy & myself have made a Craft night folder and we are going to try and accomplish everything in it. 

First up. The garden flag.

Old Navy + Clearance rack

If you know me you know when I walk into a store I go straight for the clearance section. I need to see everything under 10 dollars. I went to about 3 Old Navy's in  Fl and the Santa Rosa mall had a great section of plus size clothing just waiting for a new home.

I got some real steals !

I wish I could be the blogger that can style clothes on the rack or have some cute setup at home to show you all my goodies but I can't . I tried and it looked trashy so I'll just have someone take my picture  when I wear it. But for $70 I walked away with all of this plus two dresses and a pencil skirt . I consider that a win.

Fort Walton Beach Fl +Sept 2015

Doesn't this just look like a postcard. It's just been a couple weeks and I am ready to go back. Usually We got to the beach in May/ June and I was really upset about not being able to go but this trip made up for not being able to. The weather was perfect and it wasn't crowded so life was even better. 

MMG + CEG= Baby

MY BEST FRIEND IS PREGNANT!

Okay I should have said that a while ago. I'm sorry. Yall know I am behind on my posts. And most of you guys already know. So just be excited again. okay? okay.

Misti & Ed got married on Sept 22 2013 and on December 14 2015 they are going to give birth to a beautiful baby GIRL!  I can not even start to explain to you guys how excited I am. Of course I lobbied for God mother. Actually I shut the competition down. I did not even allow for other applicants. ( I am your God Mother) { add Italian Mob accent} Do God Mothers get cool names? I was thinking about Fairy? Sometimes I  go by Al for people who cant say my name ( because they are idiots) So may be Aly which sounds like owly and I like Owls. What do yall think? Too much? Well I got a little time to figure that out.
 If you know Misti send her a congrats!

Hendry- Clark Wedding

I feel like the professional wedding attendee. But I'm guessing this is the season of my life where everyone is getting married. And I am a lover of love so why not. Amy is one of my co workers. She actually rooms next door to me. 

The wedding was in a gorgeous Methodist church in town with beautiful stain glass windows, and a great " stage".

 I did not take many pictures because I hate when I see people with their phones out as the bride walks down. Buy a real camera people!



 I would like to take a moment to quote Kanye West .. ( adjusts tie & clears throat) " So instead of sending flowers, we're the roses". ( thank you Kanye) That is the most accurate depiction of our company. See the following photos. We SHUT FUNCTIONS DOWN.

The beautiful bride & I

Shout out to Laquita for straightening my hair that literally lasted an hour. I have officially learned my lesson. 

Fossil @ Foley AL

You guys are aware when I stop at a Tanger Outlet I must stop at Fossil. I haven't been in awhile and believe me, when I saw this bag my heart skipped a beat.

Perfection 

Beautiful fall bag 

Look at the shape & the leather 

Fossil you have outdone yourself this time.

Anyone looking to buy me a present  This is it.

I didn't leave empty handed.

Reason 802 why I love Fall

Addition to the Nelsons

You know there are more Nelson's than Justin & I... lol

I got to throw Justin's sister, Ashley & beau Mario a gender reveal party!

Looks like we are going to be adding an adorable little boy to our family. I think they have agreed on Austin Jeremy Nelson

I just love it!

January where are you?

Shoutout to Catherine Zeta Rose who stayed up late with me to make decorations!

Delta Anne & Southern: 6 month check up

I decided to have their check ups separate because they are too much to deal with together.



 Delta did pretty good. Minus taking a huge poop in the grassy knoll( grassy knoll anyone get that?) in front of the office. I kinda of looked at it and kept going. I'm sure there is some" pick up your pups poop" situation but I'm a rebel so suck it.
Delta still has heart worms and we are going to get some aggressive treatment which is going to cost me a butt load but I dont want to wake up one morning and she's gone. Her cough apparently has something to do with it so she had to get a shot and antibiotics. Everyone thought she was just soo cute. I am pretty sure she was just being sweet because at home she cant be trusted. Delta weighed in at 51.4 lbs. She has gained at least 20lbs since we've gotten her.


Southern was a complete clown. For some reason it takes me pushing his hind legs into the truck to get him in. But when he gets in he is so excited. Southern is def a boy. He flirted with anyone who walked by or looked his way. He had way too much energy for me so we are going to get that taken care of. All 55lbs of him were perfect. 9 months and 55 lbs. Crazy!

Hyatt Place +Garland Tx +Oct 2015

We came to Dallas for my best friend Misti's  baby shower (post to come) . Gina  suggested a hotel she got from Groupon so I took the suggestion and I am so glad I did. This hotel was very comfortable. The staff was very nice , there was  an extensive breakfast from 7-10., checkout at 12, and  great parking. Everything you could possibly need as a visitor in this town was around the corner . Target, Walmart , SAMs, several restaurants, Fire wheel where you can spend hours shopping. I was pleasantly surprised.

Mobile, AL + Sept 2015

On the way to Fort Walton we made a pit stop in Mobile AL to visit my Mindy. Our baby is doing so well at school and work. We just miss her so much . 

If any of you guys are in the Mobile area stop in at Atlanta Bread. It's like a high end McAlisters Deli or Newks but better tasting.

My office wall

A couple weeks ago my friend ET redid her wall in her living room which inspired me to look around my walls and see what I could change . Slowly I have been trying to decorate all of the rooms in our house . And now that we are cleaning up and cleaning out a bit it seems like the best time to do it .  This room was originally brown . When we moved in that was the only color JMN and I could agree on for the spare bedrooms. But I couldn't wait to get there and change it up so I picked this teal. The only pieces of decor in this room were my Sex and the City posters and I had a small corner of wedding stuff . ( my bird cage, marriage license , and a frame matte pic of us that some people signed for the wedding )

.  For my birthday last year Mindy and Issy bought me the owl d it's been hanging in that spot for a while so I wanted to build on it. The two 11x14 frames I purchased at dirt cheap a year and a half ago. I added our 1 year anniversary pictures and a black matte . Right now the second is empty, I have no idea what I'm going to put there . The black frame with the white matte is from our wedding which use to be on the wall next to my desk. The "maroon" frame is from the dollar tree. I was playing around one day and mixed some colors together and painted it . Added some matte and chevron scrapbook paper and used my A from my room at the cooper house. I took Justin's graduation photo from my desk and hung it on the wall. I bought the yellow circle frame from a pre garage sell from work. It's really the prettiest frame I've ever seen.  Another gem from the cooper house is this four picture frame. These pictures have been in there forever because they won't come out .( lol) The first is a picture is from 2006 when I was hostesting at El Chicos in the mall. Second is me and Justin the night before I left to fly to MO to see Misti . The 3rd is my brother and his ex girlfriend and her family. Long story there . And the last of course is Joe lol.

At the bottom you have our marriage license and a really cute gold frame I got from dirt cheap a couple weeks ago that I used for my sister in laws gender reveal. And there you have it.
Not as cool as ET's but better than a blank wall .

Singles Saturday

Go buy them !
